I have a model with the referrence weld lines . I have to create connectors along the weld lines . 

But the problem is , many small lines overlap a long line and because of this same line is having many line ids .

I somehow need to eliminate the overlapping small lines through script . Is there any way ?

    Yes i have

    I will select the lines, create temp nodes on them, delete them, then regenerate an unique line from the nodes.

    We don't need script for this.

    No I have to do this process for for a lot of curves which may or may not be closed . So , i have to find all the continuous curves and then do this temp nodes creation and regenerate a new line . I dont think this can be automated . 

    Is there any way to do this at one single run ?

    Hi

    Unfortunately, i am not sure there is a single run for every task.

    How many welds do you have?

     

    Some tasks will take much time, but if you want to automatically do it by script, you'll need much time to design script, too. You have to consider.

     

    I want to see your lines, if possible. (Step or iges)
